The area of a triangle is half the area of a rectangle, which is given by length times width. In this case, the rectangle surrounding Triangle C has a width of 5 units and a height of 10 units.
Area of the rectangle = 5 * 10 = 50 square units
Area of Triangle C = 50 / 2 = 25 square units
Therefore, the area of triangle C in square units is 25 square units.
